Where do you live? In the US and UK, the difference between the two SKU's is only $20.

Defiantly the 4790. That's an outrageous price for only an unlocked multiplier.

Hello TechyInAZ thankx for reply i m from India! I convert the Indian currency into dollar

That depends on what your time is worth and what you expect performance wise. 400Mhz is an 11 % boost. Won't be noticed in most games but might be noticeable in some, especially multi-player mode in AAA games.

It will also be noticed more in video editing

Also many video editing apps like CUDA which is an nVidia only thing

But price difference is too much! If i will buy i7 4790k then i also need ti buy a Z97 mobo 🙁 and my budget ginna exceed

Understood.... but remember, if you are looking at it from a ROI perspective (Return on Investment) ....

"I am getting a 11% increase in CPU performance for an 18% increase in CPU price.... it isn't worth it". Make sense ? No, False Logic. The CPU doesn't go faster by itself, your whole system does.

"I am getting a 11% increase in system performance for an 7% increase in system price (assumed $1,000 system cost).... well that's a different story isn't it ? Bit tougher of a decision

But still.... if ya budget is firm, ya can only grab what fits ya budget limits.

Have you looked at the Xeon E3 1231? Since you said you don't want to overclock I think the E3 is ideal for you. It's also cheaper since it doesn't have integrated graphics.

@Jack if i will attach i7 4790k with h97 Plus is it will be fine ?

@Free sorry bro! For 6-7 months i m gonna use hd 4600 so no xeon btw thanks for suggestion

My bad, forgot you had a H97 on that list

You'd want a Z97 to take advantage of the K ... an appropriately matched board would add $25

Msi SLI Krait z97 or Gigabyte GA Z97 D3H....these 2 r cheaper in india which one should i get ?
